What does the Advanced Open Water course consist of?
This course is divided into 2 parts.
On one hand, the theoretical part can be done online (depending on the center) or in person at the center to learn, among other things, the practical aspects and physiological effects of deep diving, time management, planning, the use of the dive computer, and guidelines for different situations.
The practical part of the Advanced Open Water diving course consists of a total of 5 adventure dives in the sea (specialties).
Of these 5 specialties, 2 are mandatory, being the pillars of advanced diving. They are the following:
Deep Diving Specialty: You will perform an open water dive to a depth of 30 meters (21 meters if you are between 12 and 14 years old), with their respective practical exercises.
Underwater Navigation Specialty: You will perform a dive where you will learn to use the compass and orient yourself underwater, plotting courses, and controlling buoyancy.
The remaining 3 specialties of the Advanced Open Water diving course will be freely chosen. The range is very wide, and the offer of these specialties will depend on the center where they are going to be carried out. The most popular among divers are:
Nitrox
Buoyancy
Nigth Diver
During the specialties, the theoretical concepts will be reinforced, and the knowledge of the chosen adventure dives will be reviewed.
Warning: After doing this course, it is very possible that you will be addicted to diving and there is no turning back! We are not responsible 😉
